Wonderglass / 97

Claesson Koivisto Rune, John Pawson, Zaha Hadid and Nao Tamura are the creators of new lights by Wonderglass at the Istituto dei Ciechi.

Vetro delle meraviglie
The Wonderglass range of crystal chandeliers has been extended with three new models by John Pawson, Claesson Koivisto Rune and Zaha Hadid and a new white version of Flow(t) by Nao Tamura.
Designs that, as always, are made to measure and combine a raw and fragile material like glass with LED technology and fine craftsmanship; three factors that together to bring a contemporary feel to the Venetian tradition of glassmaking. Each new design presents a new and unique technical challenge in its production.

Grappa by Claesson Koivisto Rune is a bunch of grapes that emphasises variety through repetition combining similar forms of differing sizes. Translucent glass allows light from the LED source to filter through. Luma by Hadid is a sculptural composition of four tubular sections that follow the same trajectory. Finally Sleeve by John Pawson is a series of cylinders in hand-blown glass one inside the other.
